New Catholic high school in South Jersey

The Camden, N.J., Catholic Diocese is finalizing plans to build its first new Roman Catholic high school in 40 years in the fastest-growing county in South Jersey. Church officials want to purchase a 100-acre farm in Gloucester County as the site for a 1,200-student facility. The diocese is moving forward with the high school, its first in the county, at the same time a shift in the region's Catholic population has led it to close nine elementary schools and make plans to merge 66 parishes.
